Although it hurt for Richard to bow since Lorenzo was still grabbing his hair, he still did it.Lorenzo's brow quirked. It shocked him to see the former doing that, so he loosened his grip and clapped his palms together, dusting them.He then pointed at the keyboard, stating, "Starting now, I want you to finish drawing up the share transfer agreement. However, in addition to the agreement, you'll hand over all assets, excluding cash, under your name to me."Richard's eyes grew wide before he compliantly sat down. Yet, he did not touch the keyboard. Instead, he snapped icily, "You're truly something, Lorenzo Byers! I may have lost today, but your current actions have crossed the line!"He spoke in a controlled tone and seemed calm, as though he was not the one in danger. Yet, he was profusely sweating beneath his clothes. He knew if this continued for even a single minute, his sweat would seep into his clothes, revealing how anxious he secretly felt.That would mean he had lost the bat

That ticked Cassian Veyron off entirely. He picked up the bat again, hoping to strike Lorenzo down. This time, things still did not go as he wanted because Clara ran over to defend Lorenzo. Clara extended both arms in front, gripping Cassian Veyron's bat tightly and stopping it from lowering further. A reddish tinge seeped into the whites of her eyes and to her cheeks. "Uncle Cassian Veyron, would you rather believe the guys who released this video instead of me? Don't you know those people framed me to get my dad's wealth? Isn't it too convenient that they uploaded this video now when my dad is missing? They're the ones benefitting the most from this situation-not me and Lorenzo!" Cassian Veyron's face warped, still cautious but slightly convinced, so he retracted his bat. Feeling things click into place, Lorenzo raised a brow while examining the onlookers behind him. They had been standing around for some time but did not speak. Because of that, Lorenzo assumed they were securit

Richard frowned, feeling distressed. He didn't know how to react to this. After a short moment of consideration, he decided to tell Calypso the truth. So, he turned around and looked at her.Before he could say anything, the person beside him cleared his throat. It made him jolt, and he turned to look at Lorenzo. Then, he saw Lorenzo turn awaynonchalantly as if nothing had happened.In that instant, Richard tensed up. He understood what Lorenzo had meant! This realization soured his mood because it was a skill only subordinates needed to have when dealing with their superiors.In his case, he'd picked it up without even putting in the effort to. His expression became complicated.However, he didn't dare look at Lorenzo again after his hint. A few seconds later, he turned back to look at Calypso. This was her first time experiencing the feeling of having his eyes on her, and she blushed. She fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and her tone was odd as she said,"Mr. Graves, when I was

Lorenzo didn't say anything, though. There wasn't any need to because Clara had already started screeching, "Calypso Veyron, let go of Lorenzo this instant, and I'll turn a blind eye to what you've done so far. Once my father's back, I won't tell him about this, either." Calypso quickly stopped when she heard this. Then, she whipped around so swiftly that her hair whipped against Lorenzo's face. He frowned but didn't say anything. Calypso wanted to let go of him but didn't dare do so. She knew that someone of his wealth definitely had bodyguards protecting him, but for some reason, they hadn't done anything to her. If she were to let go of him at this moment, there was no way Lorenzo's bodyguards would let her off the hook. She discreetly took in her surroundings at this thought, but no one appeared. She relaxed a little, looked at Clara, and said lowly, "Clara, your father's still alive, isn't he? You know where he is and how he's doing." Her tone went from being questioning

"If this were just between the two of us, I would still accept you as my brother. But that's not the case! You're accusing and hurting your sister because of Lorenzo's words!" Calypso spat out. Her expression was twisted as she bent over and pounded herself on the chest.A trace of pain flashed in Cassian's eyes at the sound of her fists coming into contact with her chest, but he didn't waver this time. He shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and said,"You're no longer the sister I remember, and you've become a completely different person. Or perhaps, you've been lying to me since we were children. It doesn't matter-not anymore. Too many things have happened for us to return to how things used to be."Calypso gaped at him. Lorenzo swept his gaze over everyone present, then raised an eyebrow and patted Clara on the shoulder. When she didn't react, he smiled and reached out to push her jaw back up.Only then did she notice the warmth on her jaw. She backed away, then turned to look at hi
